Dear Ms. Stang, Me loves a good American Civil War novel but unfortunately, most publishers today don’t agree with me so pickin’s have been slim lately. So when I was perusing the new ebooks at Fictionwise a few months ago, I decided to buy your book and give it a try. With her three older(…)

Dear Mrs. White, In a historical book world filled with Regency this, Norman knight that and followed by kilted Highlanders mangling brogue it’s nice to occasionally find a story with a different setting. There’s been a dearth of American set historicals recently. One which I hope this book will help remedy. Camilla Beaumont has worked(…)

Dear Ms. Potter, This older book is certainly a different approach to the Late Hostilities. Readers tired of the standard plantation settings and who enjoy Westerns might like it as it’s set mainly in Colorado and Texas. Then it carries on a bit further into the months after the war. Colonel Ben Morgan has been(…)

Dear Ladies, Georgian set historical books make my heart pitter patter. When I find a book description that mentions it’s set then, much of the work of making me want to read it is already done. Throw in some daring do and a little swashbuckling and I drool in anticipation. Mix in a little pathos(…)

Dear Mrs. Beecroft, I’m sorry it took me so long to finally read the book you offered to DA way back in….oh dear, was it really February? ::Winces:: Note to self: must forgo sleep in order to read more books. But better late than never. The way you opened the book was very powerful. It(…)

Dear Mr. Lerner, Of course I’d heard of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. And I’d even read romance books that featured Pinkerton detective heroes and heroines before. But I didn’t know much about the real man behind the formation of one of the most famous American law enforcement businesses or of the cases he and his(…)

Dear Ms Rae, Your book, “Marike’s World” sounded so interesting. Set during the turbulent years of the American Revolution, I had hoped to see it through the eyes of this young Dutch-American woman. Instead what I got was literally only Marike’s world and not much else. The story reads more like a soap opera about(…)

Dear Ms Haseloff, Years ago I read the DIK review at AAR for this book. I was interested and purchased it. I read it and was blown away by it. I contacted you and you were gracious enough to email with me a little about this book and others you’d written. I’ve always meant to(…)

Dear Ms Tash, It was the plot of this book which led me to buy it knowing nothing about you or your writing style. I love me some American Revolutionary books and was interested to see that this one would feature some regular British troops in addition to the upper class officers I’m used to(…)

Dear Ms Ivey, I bought “Beaudry’s Ghost” a few years ago (when LTD Books was still in business) and have had it on my IPAQ for almost as long. I’ve got a long list of books TBR on that sucker. I needed something different to read and thought, “Ghost story. Not too many of those(…)

Dear Ms. Bold, I like arranged marriage/marriage of convenience type plots. Here’s a couple, forced to get married, who then have to find a way to love. And since westerns are also a favorite, the mail order bride plot is tailor made for me. When I did my review of Cobblestone Press, yours was the(…)

Dear Ms West, Okay, here goes letter three in a rinse and repeat style. And I’ll add my standard teeth gnashing that Book Five never saw the light of day. This is the third installment of West’s Men of Pride County series and differs from the first two in that most of it takes place(…)

Dear Ms West, As promised, here’s my letter for book number two of your Men of Pride County series and it carries on wonderfully from the first one with just enough of the leads from book number one and other secondary characters but without them clogging up the scenery unnecessarily. I’m going to include some(…)

Dear Ms West, I actually read this series a few years ago but with the Kentucky Derby coming up, I felt it was the perfect time to pull it out for a refresher. I’ve read tons of books set during the Civil War but precious few set during Reconstruction. This is about how the South(…)

Dear Mrs. Feather, When I open one of your older books, I know I’m probably going to be treated to something different. Something I probably won’t get from a more recently written novel. “Bold Destiny” doesn’t disappoint. Kabul, Afghanistan in 1841/42 is definitely not where a British person wanted to be. The conditions were perfectly(…)
